Tomorrow August 27 2014, will be my 3 year anniversary with Spark. And let me tell you it has been quite a life changing journey. Once again I am starting over, but I view that as a POSITIVE!

Tomorrow August 27 2014, will be my 3 year anniversary with Spark. And let me tell you it has been quite a life changing journey. Once again I am starting over, but I view that as a POSITIVE! A fresh new beginning! In the last 3 years I have lost a total of 80 pounds. Unfortunately, due to an illness this last month I have gained back 13 of it. But I have had set backs before & have bounced back even stronger, so I know I will lose it again. But not only have I lost weight, I have learned to love exercise & how to eat right. By being active on Spark Teams & participating in the 5% Challenges, I have been able to maintain by motivation. More importantly I have made many dear friends & have a strong support system in place. Bless you all my Spark Family! So for all you Newbies, if I can do, so can you!!!!!

My Program:
For the Fall 5% Challenge, I am committed to 30 minutes of exercise a day although I am back to baby steps. I am having to work on my diet as I can no longer have the foods I used to eat as I have to get my Potassium levels down.

Personal Information:
My name is Patti. I was born & raised in Los Angeles, CA but moved to TN in 1992. It is absolutely beautiful here!
